Pets can be full of surprises-so their insurance coverage shouldn’t be. That’s why Trupanion is dedicated to helping pets we love get the care they need. They’ve been around for more than 20 years, making them experts and setting standards for the industry. One perk of this, and what they pride themselves on, is the amount they pay out to pet owners for each claim. Paying out more on the dollar than any other pet insurance provider. To date they have paid out $2 Billion in claims and have insured nearly 1 million pets. Trupanion pets lead longer happier lives.1 Pets insured with Trupanion lived longer than pets without Trupanion because pet parents didn’t have to worry about the cost of the care their pet needed. Depending on the plan Trupanion covers up to 90% of eligible expenses, has unlimited payouts-always, and can pay your vet bill, within seconds, at time of checkout, so all you pay is your portion (anything not covered by Trupanion). They have transformed the way pet insurance handles claims by eliminating the reimbursement process. To put it simply, there is a reason why 98.7% of Trupanion members stay enrolled every month. 1 Based on a November 2020 internal study analyzing third party hospital claims data comparing pets insured with a Trupanion policy to pets without a Trupanion policy. * Terms and Conditions apply.

Peace of mind and a FIGHTING CHANCE!

After watching my best (human) friend fight emotionally and financially to save her sweet, uninsured 3-year-old corgi who we all loved so much, I knew that as a single parent I would be devastated if that ever happened to my dog. Scooter, my corgi cross, was almost 4 yrs old when I decided to enroll him. He was healthy, happy, and amazing. He was also my ring bearer in our weeding last year--he is truly a part of our family. He's now 5 1/2. About 3 weeks ago, Scooter's health suddenly changed overnight, and it was terrifying. A week later, our worst fears were confirmed: a histiocytic sarcoma in his head. With the peace of mind of having Trupanion, we were able to take him to UC Davis Veterinarians, and their team of neurosurgeons saved him. Trupanion worked quickly with us so that we could focus on our buddy! They have been so kind, "tru" to their word, and we will never spend a day without their pet insurance for our dogs (today and those in our future) as long as WE live! We cannot thank them enough. They've helped us give Scooter a fighting chance. He is currently cancer and tumor free (though awaiting chemo), fetching, taking walks, and begging for bacon barely a week and a half after surgery. His scar is quite impressive--just in time for Halloween :) We have our best friend back, one day at a time, and we couldn't have done this without Trupanion. We have literally told everyone who will listen--even total strangers in the vet hospital! GET THIS FOR YOUR PRECIOUS PETS! No point in shopping elsewhere. They are simply the best, and they will share your sense of urgency. Love them!

Help is at Hand

We cannot imagine how we would have managed without the sensitive caring staff of Trupanion as our dog journeys his way back to health. Honest, caring, effective- efficient- this company has helped us help Griff get the care he needs. There are no horror stories here- for the past 8 years, Trupanion has honoured claim after claim- Accidents and illness can come out of nowhere- with Trupanion- I believe they really do care as much as we do that animals get the best care they can. Lucky lucky us.

The absolute best insurance we could ever have!

We have a Vizsla who loves to swallow things he shouldn't. He is 6 years old and has had 3 surgeries . Trupanion was right there the whole way. Never once a problem..and always very kind! I recommend them to everyone I know...and will never have another pet without having the peace of mind knowing we have Trupanion. Thank you Trupanion....

Fantastic

My large Chocolate Lab, Riley, just had a second ACL repair. He is 5 years old and had the first repair at the age of 2. Trupanion has come through for him both times! He will soon be running with me again thanks to Trupanion. I am glad we signed him up as a puppy.

Monthly Cost

Your monthly premium is determined by multiple factors including your pet’s species, gender, breed, age, zip code, and the deductible amount you choose if your policy allows.

Coverage

Depending on your plan, the Trupanion policy pays up to 100% of your vet bill for all eligible expenses. There are unlimited payout limits, always and Trupanion will never increase or cancel your coverage because of claims you submit. Coverage includes new accidents and illnesses, hereditary, congenital, and chronic conditions, diagnostic tests, hospital stays, and much more. Trupanion prides itself on paying out more on the dollar than any other provider and has paid out nearly $2 billion in claims to date.

Payout Limits

The Trupanion policy* has no payout limits, so whether your pet needs one quick visit or a lifetime of care, your coverage won’t quit. That can mean a big difference if your pet develops a chronic condition requiring extended care like allergies, diabetes, or even cancer.

Deductible

If your Trupanion policy has a deductible, you can customize it to fit your budget. You can choose from $50 to $1,000 in increments of $5, or choose to have no deductible at all. Trupanion deductibles are per-condition and good for the life of your pet. That means no annual resets-once a deductible is met, you never have to pay the deductible for that condition again.

Age Limits

All new pets can enroll from birth until their 14th birthday. Once your pet is enrolled, they can be enrolled for life

Waiting Period

Waiting periods vary by state. Please see your states policy for full coverage details. However, other providers may have additional waiting periods for congenital conditions like hip dysplasia, Trupanion does not.

Exclusions

Trupanion was developed to protect you and your pet from unexpected illnesses and injuries. That means we don’t cover “predictable” care costs that you can plan ahead for, like: Examination fees Wellness and preventive care Elective, or cosmetic procedures Sales tax, where applicable Like many other pet insurance providers, Trupanion does not cover pre-existing conditions. Whichever insurer you choose, it pays to enroll early! * Terms and Conditions apply. Coverage may vary by state. Not all veterinarians accept direct payment. Ask your veterinarian about Trupanion Vet Direct Pay.
